Vegan Chickpea BBQ Pizza

This Vegan Chickpea BBQ Pizza is the answer to all my vegan pizza dreams. It's mouthwateringly good. The chickpeas are soft and buttery on the inside, yet savory and slightly crispy on the outside. Couple that with soft melty cheese and all the BBQ flavors you could ever want. It really doesn't get any better. | Munchyesta.com

Ingredients

  • 1 Pizza Dough
  • 1 cup  (165 grams)  Chickpeas Drained
  • 1½ tbsp Sriracha Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • ¼ cup (60 grams) Vegan BBQ Sauce
  • ½ Red Onion Sliced
  • ¼ cup (28 grams) Vegan Mozzarella Cheese
  • ¼ cup (28 grams) Vegan Cheddar Cheese Grated

White Sauce

  • ½ cup (120 grams) Cannellini Beans Drained
  • 1½ tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast Optional
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of dried Chili Flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's nice and hot for baking the pizza.
  • In a blender, combine the drained cannellini beans, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, chili flakes, and optional nutritional yeast. Blend until the beans form a creamy sauce consistency, adding a touch of water if needed for smoother blending. This white bean sauce will add a delicious and creamy base to your pizza.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the drained chickpeas with olive oil and sriracha sauce until the chickpeas are coated in the flavorful sauce. This will give the chickpeas a spicy kick.
  • Roll out your pizza dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to create a flat and even surface for your pizza.
  • Spread a generous layer of vegan BBQ sauce over the pizza dough, leaving about ½ inch of the edges uncovered. This tangy sauce will infuse the pizza with rich flavor.
  • Spoon the white bean sauce onto the pizza, spreading it evenly over the BBQ sauce. This creamy sauce will add depth of flavor and a velvety texture to the pizza.
  • Arrange the spicy chickpeas and sliced red onions on top of the sauces. The chickpeas will provide a meaty texture and added protein, while the red onions contribute a delicious crunch and slight sweetness.
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of vegan mozzarella cheese over the toppings. This will melt beautifully and add a cheesy, gooey element to the pizza.
  • Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cooked to your liking. Keep an eye on the pizza as cooking times may vary.
  • Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting into slices. This will ensure the toppings stay intact and make it easier to handle.
  • Serve your delicious vegan BBQ chickpea pizza and enjoy the flavorful combination of tangy BBQ sauce, creamy white bean sauce, spicy chickpeas, and crispy onions.
    By following these steps, you'll create a scrumptious vegan pizza that is sure to delight your taste buds. Enjoy this flavorful and satisfying meal!
